G'day,
What age is the best time to eat the quails. Are they like chooks the older they get the tougher they become. Also is there a feed you can give them to put weight?

How long can you keep quail eggs before you have to place them in your incubator?
What age would be too late?

Hello
I would like to gather a bit of a database on Tasmanian Quail breeders. I have only just started so if there are breeders down here in beautiful Tassie it will be helpful to know where you are for future reference if I need to buy or swap male birds for breeding purposes
Cheers
Jodi

Hi, I hope you can answer my question? I have 2 quails in my avairy I know that one is a female as she lay's eggs, but the other is often on the nest too, so I am not sure of the sex. Today I was given a lost quail which I put in the avairy, but have had too put now into small cage as both quails are pecking at the poor bird, chasing it and giving it a hard time. Even though now it is in a small cage, but still in the main cage they are still harassing it please let me know if possible what is wrong, and what I should do. Thanks.
Quail culling article - more humane methods?

Hi all, I'm new to this site and just read the article on quail culling. Just thought I'd comment that it's my understanding that bleeding out a bird by severing the main blood supply should be used only AFTER using another method to render the bird unconscious. Blood loss does not immediately render the bird unconcious, and the bird can apparently feel intense distress while bleeding out. (That's why - if you saw the 'chicken show' made by Jamie Oliver, they stunned the hen before slitting its throat). It's my understanding that cervical dislocation is a preferred method of slaughter in birds of this size, but you definately need education on this method. Anyway, I'm no expert on the topic, so please do some reading for yourselves on this topic on the Net...just think it's important that we promote the most humane methods possible. Glad people are writing about it though - it's an important topic.
Does anyone have quail that sit on their own eggs to hatch?

Ive never seen quails go broodie and sit on their eggs. I leave all the eggs my Bobwhite lays in her nest in the hope she sits on them, though my plan is flawed.
Im interested in knowing if anyone has quails that actually hatch their own eggs? no matter what variety...
which species are my quail?

hey eveyone.
i got a quail a while ago. they are very small, he is blue/brown witht the white collar markings. Now i have bought a female and she therefore does not have the white marking, but is a tan colour. Now i thought they were the same species but now im not too sure. i am confused at pics of "japanese quail" and "king quail" because in some pics they look the same!!
Could anyone shed me some light?
many thanks :D

Hi my name is Crystal and I am new to the quail world. I have a common grey female quail and a blue breasted male quail. What I need to know is whether or not these two will breed with each other. The feamle has had 2 lots of eggs which have never hatched. I really dont know if he is even interested. Your views will be very helpful as I have no idea what I am doing. Thanks guys.

Is it normal for quails to call out during the night? It seems when 1 male starts the other 4 do it as well. I hear 20 calls in succession every hour or 2 during the night. Normal?

This week I learnt that coccidiostat’s are not registered to be fed to bird laying eggs for human consumption. Apparently its ok to eat the bird but not the egg ?!

Recommend anyone buying fertile eggs to request theyre all of equal size. So hatched chicks are all uniform in size.

Wondering what everyone thinks of their incubator..
I bought the Hovabator 1584 (Picture Window), manual turn...I find its temperature fluctuates during different times (ie, Evening, Morning, Midday) and i constantly keep going back and tweaking it.
Does anyone else have an issue like this?
